I am actually very impressed with the History Channel's Vikings. I have no idea if it is accurate but it is entertaining.

It seems to me that the History Channel is making a effort towards high quality mini series now. Better than what it has been which is reality shows like Pawn Stars. Something only vaguely history related.

An old law which is still in use in parts of the US is that if you kill someone in self-defense you have to report it. It is illegal to not report the act. However since most homes nearby are likely to be family or friend of the dead, you are allowed to go three homes down to report the act.

In the US though its you have to call the cops and remain at the site of the act or go directly to the police.

Well it seems that in Viking law in this series you can basically kill someone over an argument and then if you report it, then all is fine.

Looks like this is going to be a TV series for the History Channel which is good. I almost written off the channel when it was airing reality shows non stop. But if they air historical TV shows like this then I will be happy.

I would like to see a Crusades TV show. That would be cool.
